Programmed Cell Death; A Turkish review of literature
Abstract
Programmed cell death is an important and essential cellular event to eliminate unwanted cells during embriyogenesis, metamorphosis, endocrine-
dependent tissue atrophy and normal tissue turnover. This is an energy-depended processes and succeeded by the cells that play an active role in their
own death. There are two major programmed cell death signaling pathways, the mitochondrial or intrinsic pathway and the death reseptor or extrinsic
pathway. At the same time, perforin/granzyme dependent cell death can be included in the programmed cell death pathways. All the three pathways of
programmed cell death come together on the caspase-3/7 activation and on the events that occur after the programmed cell death such as chromatin
condensation, DNA fragmentation degradation of nuclear as well as cytockeleton proteins etc. The cell death initiated by the external stimuli, the
extrinsic pathway, occurs in two different way depend on the cell response to these stimuli. In this pathway, Type I called cells require activation of
caspase-8 at the DISC (Death Inducing Signaling Complex) followed by activation of caspase-3. In type II cells, DISC formation is impaired and
reduced active caspase-8 is generated. Active caspase-8 cleave and activate the cytosolic protein BID wich triggers mitochondrial pathway to generate
active caspase-3 to succeed programmed cell death. Overexpression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL blocked caspase-8 and caspase-3 activation as well as
programmed cell death in Type II cells. In this review, we aim to provide a general overview of current knowledge on the process of programmed cell
death including history, morphology and biochmeistry as well as contribute by a Turkish review to the Turkish students and scientists.
